New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors prediction
The New Orleans Pelicans are the more talented team overall, but they're dealing with a banged up Williamson and Alvarado. The Golden State Warriors play their best ball at home, and they've won 6 of the last 9 meetings against the Pelicans. The Warriors need to take full advantage of home games if they're going to stay in the playoff conversation. Pick 'em game, give me the Warriors.
